Almost no change since last release candidate. This is a sign that this release
is stable. ,-)

There was big changes since previous stable and users - especially distribution
maintainers - should really read the intermediate changelogs.

At the beginning of this year, I've tried to implement Unicode support. As you
know, I was not satisfied with the result. Then, I've published my code analysis
where I talk about doing a lot of refactoring for more proper OOP practices.
What's new is that I've actually done it and stopped this work as soon as I
realized that it means entirely rewriting the software.

On top of this, I'm not fully satisfied with other current limitations:
- old legacy support;
- migration to Python 3;
- complex multithreading design;
- some restrictions of the GPLv2 license;
- etc.

That's why I've started a new product. I'll publish it in the coming weeks under
the MIT license.
